Zhou Man was sitting in the living room, leisurely crossing her legs and eating sunflower seeds.

"Hey Xiaoqin, could you make some peach gum milk to soothe my throat?"

Aunt Qin, who was in the kitchen, ignored her and pretended not to hear, continuing to prepare lunch.

So what if Zhou Man is the old man's daughter-in-law? She's not the one who pays his salary.

In addition, Aunt Qin didn't like her in the first place.

Both are daughters-in-law of the Su family, so why is Su's mother so dignified and generous, and likable, while Zhou Man is so petty, frivolous, and annoying?

Su Yinwan helped Grandpa Su into the living room.

Zhou Man looked up and saw the three people coming in. She quickly put down the melon seeds she was holding and walked forward with a big smile.

"Dad, you're back! Xiaoqin said you went to pay respects to Mom. Why didn't you invite our family along?"

"What do you want? Go there and disturb your mother's peace and quiet?"

Grandpa Su didn't look at her and lay down directly on the rattan chair.

He was a little tired.

Zhou Man was a little unhappy when she saw that Grandpa Su was ignoring her.

Thinking of the purpose of her visit to the old house today, she turned to look at Su Yinwan.

He smiled and poured a cup of tea for her and Rong Jing respectively.

“Xiao Wan, we’re family, right? Your aunt’s family has run into some trouble and they need 500,000 yuan. Do you think we could lend her that money first? Your uncle and I will find a way to pay it back.”

Zhou Man looked very attentive.

Su Yinwan felt somewhat uncomfortable with his pretentious manner.

Five hundred thousand is not a small amount, and she already had that much money in her account, but she didn't want to lend it to Zhou Man.

It wasn't so much about borrowing money from her, but rather about getting her to give me money.

Given her aunt's temperament, once the money is given away, there's no way she'll get it back.

I wonder what Zhou Man wants that 500,000 for.

Su Yinwan picked up an orange and was about to peel it.

Seeing this, Zhou Man quickly took the orange from her hand and helped her peel it.

"Xiao Wan, this money is for saving lives. If you don't have this much money, your husband definitely does. Why don't you talk to him?"

Zhou Man leaned closer to Su Yinwan and spoke again, glancing out of the corner of her eye at Rong Jing, who had just gone out to make a phone call.

"Save someone's life? What happened?"

Su Yinwan hesitated.

Her money can help in emergencies, but it can't solve long-term poverty.

"It's all because of my spendthrift younger brother. He tried investing in stocks and lost all the money in the family. My family is desperate. Xiaowan, please help us."

Zhou Man managed to squeeze out a few tears, feigning grief as she looked at Su Yinwan.

It was her brother again.

Su Yinwan had heard her grandfather talk about some of the troubles of Zhou Man's family.

Perhaps it was his uncle who complained to him.

She had never met Zhou Man's younger brother.

All I know is that he's a lazy, good-for-nothing scoundrel who indulges in all sorts of vices, from eating and drinking to gambling and womanizing.

Thinking about how my uncle was burdened by Zhou Man and her family throughout his life, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

When Su Yinwan learned that Zhou Man borrowed the 500,000 yuan to pay off her younger brother's debts, she immediately decided not to lend it to him.

That's how my uncle's money was embezzled.

If she borrows it today, there will definitely be a second time, a third time, and there will be no end to it.

"Aunt, I can't lend you 500,000. Please ask someone else to help."

Su Yinwan pulled her hand away from Zhou Man's and replied politely.

“You’re not short of money. You’re Mrs. Rong now, you must have plenty of money.”

When Zhou Man saw that she refused outright, she instantly lost her composure.

“I won’t lend it to you. Even if you have the money, I won’t lend it to you. Aunt, your family’s problems are like a hole that can never be filled. Even if you have hundreds of millions in assets, your family will ruin you.”

Su Yinwan hit the nail on the head, directly stating the reason why she wouldn't lend money.

“Xiao Wan, don’t forget, if it weren’t for Dad’s favoritism, you wouldn’t be Mrs. Rong, and you wouldn’t have the glory you have now.”

Zhou Man stood up angrily and blurted out her long-held grievances.

"If An'an had married into the Rong family back then, would I be here today desperately trying to borrow money from you?"

"Xiaoman, what nonsense are you talking about again? Why can't we get over it? The Rong family wants Xiaowan, what does it have to do with An'an?"

Grandpa Su was awakened by Zhou Man's sharp tongue and looked somewhat angry.

"Dad, where did I say something wrong? Isn't it true that you've always favored the second son's family and ignored ours? Sometimes I even wonder if Su Ming was adopted by you? He's never received any benefits from us."

Zhou Man is a heartless person.

You could even say she was ungrateful.

Back then, they were heavily in debt, and the rest of the Su family helped them as much as they could.

Whether it's manpower or money.

When they were forced to live in a dilapidated and cramped apartment building after all their houses were used to pay off debts, Grandpa Su specially chose the best one for them out of the three houses he bought.

Su Zhe's job was found for him through his father's connections.

Zhou Man didn't remember any of the kindness they had shown her.

Just as outsiders say, if we had known he was such an ungrateful wretch, we would have been better off not helping him or giving him anything.

"Get home right now and don't you dare borrow money from Xiaowan. She doesn't earn money easily; it's not like it grows on trees."

“Dad, if she doesn’t have money, the Rong family has plenty. Just ask them for it.”

"Zhou Man, are you out of your mind? That's the Rong family's money, why should it be used to help your family? It has nothing to do with you, don't drag our Xiao Wan into this."

"Now my family is desperate, isn't it? I've asked so many people and they all said they had no money, but now she's the richest one."

Zhou Man glanced at Grandpa Su, then at Su Yinwan, who was eating an orange.

"Aunt, I'll say it again, I won't lend it."

Su Yinwan swallowed the last segment of orange, looked up at Zhou Man, and her expression was resolute.

Zhou Man put her hands on her hips and started cursing again.

"Xiao Wan, you're going to just stand by and watch her die, aren't you? How heartless of you. If the Rong family knew that their daughter-in-law was such a cold-blooded person, how would you continue to be Mrs. Rong?"

Then she started gesturing and pointing at Su Yinwan, venting her anger.

After finishing his business, Rong Jing walked into the living room and saw Zhou Man arrogantly instructing his wife, looking angry.

“We, the Rong family, know Xiao Wan’s personality very well, and we will not tolerate you slandering her here.”

He stood in front of Su Yinwan, his sharp eyes fixed on Zhou Man.

Zhou Man was so frightened by his chilling aura that she took several steps back.

"Alright, Xiaoman, go back to your home now and stop making a scene here. We don't care about your family's affairs."

Grandpa Su started to shoo people away.

"dad......"

Zhou Man wanted to continue her story.

But the old man stopped them with a sharp look in his eyes.

Zhou Man left the old house empty-handed, unwilling but helpless.

The living room was finally quiet again.

Grandpa Su gradually calmed down.

The eldest son's family situation is really a headache.

Especially Zhou Man and her family.

Su Yinwan walked over and stood behind Grandpa Su.

The slender, delicate hand pressed the old man's aching temples with just the right amount of pressure.

"Grandpa, don't be angry. It's not worth getting sick over this."
